Benoît Payan réélu maire de Marseille malgré percée du RN

Au second tour des élections municipales 2026 à Marseille, Benoît Payan (DVG) a conservé la mairie avec 54,34 % des voix, face à Franck Allisio (RN) à 40,30 % et Martine Vassal à 5,36 %. Le Printemps marseillais a remporté six des huit secteurs de la ville.

Le 23 mars 2026, au lendemain du second tour des élections municipales, Marseille connaît une recomposition politique notable. Le maire sortant Benoît Payan, soutenu par le Printemps marseillais (PM), a été réélu avec 54,34 % des suffrages, devançant largement Franck Allisio du Rassemblement national (RN), crédité de 40,30 %. Martine Vassal n'a obtenu que 5,36 %, tandis que Sébastien Delogu (LFI) s'est retiré de la course. Cette victoire consolide l'ancrage du PM dans le centre et le nord de la ville, avec la conquête des 13e et 14e arrondissements, traditionnellement à droite. Le RN émerge comme deuxième force politique locale, avec une percée dans le sud-est de la cité phocéenne. La droite traditionnelle disparaît quasi complètement du paysage électoral marseillais.
